Arvi: Embracing Sunshine, Sandy Beaches, and Bananas

ABOUT

The residents of Arvi take pride in the local bananas and celebrate them with an annual festivity in their honour.

Nestled by the sea, Arvi is a captivating village, revealing its enchanting hidden treasures.

According to Wikipedia, Arvi enjoys a microclimate marked by abundant sunshine and a lack of strong winds, courtesy of the shelter provided by Mt Dikti. As a result, the primary livelihood of the residents revolves around cultivating vegetables, predominantly tomatoes, and bananas. The sandy beach attracts numerous tourists, leading to the proliferation of accommodation such as hotels, rooms for rent, restaurants, and cafés in Arvi. The principal church in the village is dedicated to Agios Panteleimonas.
